The First, Do No Harm patient safety campaign has now concluded (30 June, 2016) and a Regional Patient Safety Network is now in place in the Northern Region. Please continue to utilise these resources to support your work in the patient safety.

Global Trigger Tool

The First, Do No Harm campaign team hosted a workshop to connect key providers in the Northern Region undertaking work on the ‘Global Trigger Tool’ – an internationally-recognised system for identifying adverse events causing harm to patients. The trigger tool helps to identify the level of harm occurring in our current system. The trigger tool can also assist in providing useful measures to indicate if the changes in care we undertake result in improving patient safety.
